When Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 professor Dr. Heather Stuart was beginning in the field of mental-health stigma, some well-meaning colleagues were trying to talk her out of it. It wasn카지노 게임 컬렉션t considered an important field and there was limited funding for research. She was told she would not be considered a real researcher.
Dr. Stuart was undeterred.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I didn카지노 게임 컬렉션t really care if I didn카지노 게임 컬렉션t get lots of research funding. What mattered to me is that I'm working with people in the field who want to make a difference and I'm helping them,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Stuart. 카지노 게임 컬렉션We're learning from each other, which I think is the epitome of knowledge exchange and translation. Getting into the weeds and developing programs is really what I think we need to do as academics. We have to get out of our offices and get into the communities that understand what's going on at the ground level.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Dr. Stuart is now one of the world카지노 게임 컬렉션s leading experts in mental-health stigma and has helped people across Canada and around the globe. A professor in the Department of Public Health Sciences and the Department of Psychiatry and Rehabilitation Therapy at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, Dr. Stuart's main research interests are in the areas of psychiatric epidemiology and community mental-health research. She카지노 게임 컬렉션s been the Bell Canada Chair in Mental Health and Anti-Stigma Research since 2012 and was named to the Order of Canada for her 카지노 게임 컬렉션commitment to advancing the mental health conversation카지노 게임 컬렉션 in 2018.
Those are impressive accomplishments, but her work is far from over. Progress has been made in mental health in the past decade, yet there is still a stigma.
Fortunately, people are more comfortable talking about their mental health, including celebrities and athletes such as Olympic gymnast Simon Biles and four-time Grand Slam singles tennis champion Naomi Osaka. Events such as Bell Let카지노 게임 컬렉션s Talk Day encourage people to speak up and let everyone know it카지노 게임 컬렉션s important to seek help.
카지노 게임 컬렉션It is helpful when celebrities speak out and I think it may empower others to do it as well. But it카지노 게임 컬렉션s important for the rest of us to step up to the plate and talk about our day-to-day experiences. We can카지노 게임 컬렉션t put all of the responsibility on celebrities to solve the problem,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Dr. Stuart says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션If you look on YouTube and poke around on the web, you can find all kinds of personal testimonials about people카지노 게임 컬렉션s stories and recoveries that you wouldn't have been able to see 10 or 15 years ago. That kind of message of hope and recovery is important for people.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Dr. Stuart카지노 게임 컬렉션s work and research isn카지노 게임 컬렉션t just helping people in Canada 카지노 게임 컬렉션 she works with experts around the world to fight stigma.
She was part of a project that examined stigma-related programs around the world related to schizophrenia. Dr. Stuart and her World Psychiatric Association colleagues published a book, Paradigms Lost, detailing the successes, mistakes, and lessons learned from these programs.
카지노 게임 컬렉션It challenged the traditional public health-type intervention approaches that people were taking to stigma because we didn't think some of them worked and we had evidence to demonstrate it,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Dr. Stuart says.
Years later, when the publishers asked for a second edition, Dr. Stuart and her colleagues realized the field had changed so much, they couldn카지노 게임 컬렉션t update the first edition. They needed to write a new book, which they called .
카지노 게임 컬렉션All of the paradigms that we tried to blow up had already been blown up and people are doing things differently now,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Stuart. 카지노 게임 컬렉션We learned so much. It카지노 게임 컬렉션s been a lot of work, but it's been something where I can see actual progression and impact.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The journey isn카지노 게임 컬렉션t over 카지노 게임 컬렉션 there is still a lot to be learned. Dr. Stuart says it카지노 게임 컬렉션s important to realize there is no one-cure-fits-all approach. Different cultural communities understand mental health and mental illnesses in different ways, and those unique needs have to be addressed.
카지노 게임 컬렉션They have different histories, if you go back into their cultures, different ways of dealing with things,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Dr. Stuart says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션And we have to take that into consideration when we work with these communities.카지노 게임 컬렉션
